Today, we lost one of the great composers at the age of 61. Obviously, he converts his own music into something magical when we listen to his soundtracks and listen while watching the movies, especially during Avatar. He collaborated with James Cameron and Ron Howard multiple times and some of their movies were handled and created beautifully thank to James Horner's contribution to the movie industry. He created some of the best and memorable scores and also won an Academy Awards for one of the highest-grossing films of all-time.
So, here are some scores that were composed by this talented music aficionado. May he rest in peace.
Braveheart - For the Love of a Princess
Braveheart - Freedom
Glory - Closing Credits
Aliens - Futile Escape
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - Main Titles (his debut)
Apollo 13 - Re-Entry & Splashdown
Legends of the Fall - The Ludlows
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - Remembrance, Remembrance

The Look of Silence, R, 3.5 stars Joshua Oppenheimer's follow-up documentary is a light-hearted but still-disturbing film regarding a
The first Daddy's Home was surprisingly a financial success as I thought it was not as bad as many people thought. I thought it was a solid cable watch because it had enough laughs for that sort of mixed recommendation. I was not craving for a sequel for this movie because again, comedy sequels have a very bad record, however, the only difference is that it is not too late since the first movie came out a few years ago. But, this sequel is a reminder as to why we do not need a sequel to a hit comedy because this is a pretty much forgettable comedy, especially a holiday comedy...which I hade a guilty pleasure for. This did not work for me. Brad and Dusty (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg) have become friends after the events of the first film and they set up a co-dad system where their two children, Megan and Dylan, spending time at each father's home. Dusty has re-married to writer Karen (Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio) and he is step-dad to Adrianna, Karen&
